10 reasons to nominate for the Oakland Indie Awards

One of my super-favorite events in Oakland is the wonderful–and annual–Oakland Indie Awards. This celebration of Oakland small business and artisan culture involves voting for indie small businesses and artisan makers, tallying the votes, and then partying hard. What’s not to like?

The deadline to nominate businesses for the Awards is March 28th, so this is the moment to spread some love around for your favorite mom and pop shops, entrepreneurs and Oakland institutions.
